A significant part of the Spanish industry is located at the Games From Spain booth, where Gamescom attendants can take a look at some of latest Spanish projects. You can have a look at the Spanish games attending the event at this catalogue created by the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX). You can also check the latest news about the Spanish video games industry at GameSpain.es, a hub created by the Spanish association of video games and software developers (DEV), ICEX and supported by the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports. The aim of this new website is to promote Spanish video games studios and companies abroad and to connect them with foreign publishers, investors, and press.
